Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt said, “We’ve been under pressure for a while to reduce our reliance on fossils. These creatures aren’t coming back. Once you’ve unearthed the last trilobite or pterosaur you have, in a very real sense, reached a dead end. That’s why we’re working with our partners in the private sector to develop more renewable forms of exhibit; sourcing materials that are readily available and unlikely to run out any time soon, such as Katie Price autobiographies.”<br />
While wider policy details are still to be announced, a leaked memo suggests that the ‘irresponsible and maverick’ practise of fossil hunting is likely to be outlawed in the UK, driving many fossils hunters underground.<br />
By contrast, individuals that already own substantial private collections will be offered the chance to take part in a trading scheme, in an attempt to offset their impact. When questioned on the effects of such an initiative, Hunt was vague. “Do you have any idea of the size of the footprint associated with a single tyrannosaurus? It’s immense.”
